Introduction to DoD Short Data Wipe Method
Data security is a critical concern for businesses and organizations, especially when disposing of or repurposing storage devices. The Department of Defense (DoD) has established various data sanitization standards to ensure the secure erasure of sensitive information. One such method is the DoD Short, also known as the DoD 5220.22-M data sanitization method or the 3-pass method.
The DoD Short method involves overwriting the entire storage device three times with specific patterns, effectively rendering the original data unrecoverable. While this method has been widely adopted, it can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, particularly when dealing with a large number of hard disk drives (HDDs).
DoD - Short also known as DoD 5520.22m - NDW - Automated Network Data Wiping software solution is fully compliant with DoD 5520.22m specifications. The key objectives of DoD Short or 5520.22-M include ensuring that classified information is properly protected and that individuals and organizations with access to such information meet stringent security standards. Great England Software's NDW - Automated Network Data Wiping software ensures data storage devices are completely sanitized of data following DoD Short - DoD 5520.22m standard.
